Hi @becky1024
I am truly sorry you are experiencing symptoms of this nature. It can be scary and create much anxiety. If I can say when I feel this way...I read a favorite scripture and pray. I do something special for myself. However, I think what is important as well is research, generate your questions for your oncologist. Let them work to find a solution to help you function and a plan to navigate this disease. You are worth it.

@becky1024 if you’re having issues with your blood clotting and your appointments are still a ways out, you can call your hematologist/oncologist’s office and let them know you’ve had a change in your blood clotting time and that you’re experiencing unusual symptoms.
They will simply order a CBC blood draw for you to check your WBC/RBC and Plateletts along with all the other usual suspects and to check for signs of an infection. Oncologists are used to changes in their patients’ health and are generally very accommodating to getting people in for blood work ASAP if needed.
Doctor’s and NPs also have built-in emergency time in their daily schedules (not the ER) if you need to be seen sooner.
If you’re passing blood and having this increase in pain level along with kidney’s hurting it could be a UTI.
So, please, just call your oncologist instead of this speculating and stress. Peace of mind is a phone call away.
